A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AND FILTERING TRAFFIC IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for controlling wireless transmission of data packets between an access point (102) and wireless terminals (108, 110), using a shared communication channel. Connections between the terminals and the access point are divided into communication segments, wherein each segment is established for at least one terminal and comprises certain communication parameters and rules. Control functions are performed for communicated packets depending on and according to the communication parameters and rules of the respective segments or segment. Traffic between terminals being connected to the same access point can then be controlled and filtered, and traffic shaping can be performed in an access point for a shared channel.
